and, from not only every state in the

SIS the magazine, Dress, succ eding?"
VERY handsomely, indeed. Dress has
been published less than year, and am
gratjtied with reports from all over the
world of the acceptance by ladies in the
very highest rank, of the reform which
Dress advocates"
Mrs. Miller Is comedy woman in APP
pearance, and is very enthusiastic in her
dress reform agitation. As the New York
Graphic says: "She herself is young and
attractive, with figure so tremendously
developed as to suggest strength, power
and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with so
much eloquence and grace seems TO be the
coming one. Mrs. Jenness- Miller has the
advantage of high social position, being
of the same family with the late Wendell
Phillips, and the poet, Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
at is in tire fashionable world, of course,
where all styles are determined, and where
the change must begin" she says.
"How do you endure 50 much work and
keep 50 well?"
~ dress myself according TO my own
ideas, ard furthermore, give myself the
best of care and treatment. Six ears ago,

and that is Warmers safe cure, which

virtues!'
Mrs. Miller insists that all women can
and must be beautiful, and will be so if
they follow her style of dress and self
treatment.
"Will you not state, briefly, in just
what your reform consi5ts?"
"Oh, with pleasure l propose jersey
fitting garment to be worn next to the
body, making of women vision of lowell
ness!
II. cover this put a cotton or linen
garment, OF one piece, without bands or
binding, covering the entire body also.
III. I'm place of the petticoats, pro-
pose one complete body, covering gar
ment called Heglettes.'
~. owe abandon the corset entirely
as totally unfit for use, in its common
form, and we substitute therefor a sup
pie supporting waist, and then we make
the outside gown as beautiful as artistic
skill and common sense can design"
Mrs. Miller's words of counsel, which
every woman should heed, will uDdoubt-
eddy give to the women of America some
new ideas upon subject so very near to
each of them.
